THE American Drive In (website link) is getting ready to roll into Washington, DC on January 5th, 2011. THE American Drive In (facebook link) has over 2500 faceBook fans, and is increasing daily, as it endeavors to create another monumental Conservative Patriot well attended event with purpose. A press release is due out this Friday, December the 17, 2010 but many details can be found directly on the website and in this facebook invitation:

1. Produce a rolling slowdown protest in DC on the day(s) marking the beginning of the next session of Congress. The level of traffic DC already deals with will, combined with our efforts, likely bring traffic to a standstill. The 112th congress is scheduled to begin on Weds, Jan 5, 2011. The precise response we receive pre-event will help us to determine whether the effort should …be one day or as many as three. 10,000 would have great effect; 50,000 might bring the city to a standstill.

2. We do not ask that anybody violate any traffic law or any other law for that matter as part of this effort. We also do not ask for permission to peacefully assemble and petition for a redress of grievances.

3. Anytime compromise is on the horizon, we will be prepared to repeat this effort.

Why is there a need for American Drive-In?

We insist that House Republicans force the total repeal of ObamaCare. We do not accept any excuses about what the President or Harry “Man Up” Reid will or will not allow. The House has the power and the right to stop all other legislation until this has been accomplished. Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing. We expect them to exercise that power even if it means a government shutdown of whatever duration.

We specifically exempt defense and border control spending, Social Security and a permanent extension of ALL of the Bush Tax Cuts from this requirement provided they are passed in “clean” bills that reduce or maintain current funding levels and add no new taxes or regulations.

When will this event be held?

Constitution Ave, Washington, DC

THE American Drive In was started by conservatives who remember what happened during the last Republican Revolution in 1994. Not much happened.

What little did happen was erased within a few years and the Republicans continued to spend like drunken sailors until the Democrats tossed them out in 2006 and 2008.

How sad for America that Republican excess only came to a halt by electing the party of excess, Democrats.

If the last 50 years have taught us anything, it is that politicians are like irresponsible children that must be managed by responsible parents.

People are fired up and ready to vote. It was a madhouse of activity at the polls this morning as early voting began here in Arkansas. All known residents!

This is the only, almost sign-free and people-free, photo that I could capture within a one block radius of the polling center. “We the People” are not fooled, nor amused by the ‘Party of Failure and Hate‘ who touted ‘Hope and Change‘. “We the People” are taking charge via the ballot box. Patriots are Fired up and Ready to Vote! Can you hear us now?

WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today released a new web video that highlights the evolution of “where are the jobs?” from party mantra to “the single most important question” Americans are concerned about.

It has now been 20 months since President Obama signed the ‘stimulus’ into law amid promises it would create jobs ‘immediately’ and keep unemployment below eight percent. Since then, millions more Americans have lost their jobs and unemployment has topped 9.5 percent for 14 months in a row, the longest such stretch since the Great Depression. This video shows how Republicans have successfully made ‘where are the jobs?’ part of the national lexicon and turned it into a potent weapon against out-of-touch Washington Democrats on the most important issue Americans are concerned about.

Boehner said upon the video’s release: “The American people are asking ‘where are the jobs?,’ and as this video shows, Washington Democrats still have no answers. With the Pledge to America, Republicans are offering a new and better way to address the people’s priorities, starting with a plan to create jobs and end economic uncertainty.”

The video kicks off a weeklong effort by Republicans to ask the question Americans are asking – where are the jobs? – and further highlight Washington Democrats’ job-killing policies. Republicans will also continue to press for immediate enactment of the Pledge to America, a governing agenda that offers a new and better way to address the people’s priorities, starting with a clear plan to create jobs and end economic uncertainty.

BACKGROUND: REPUBLICANS MAKE “WHERE ARE THE JOBS?” PART OF THE NATIONAL LEXICON

June 2009: “GOP: ‘Where are the jobs?’ on big fed spending. Republicans concerned about the Obama administration’s big spending on economic stimulus, energy and health care are asking, ‘Where are the jobs?’” (Associated Press, 6/27/09)

July 2009: “In rapid-fire speeches on the House floor Tuesday morning, congressional Republicans attacked the stimulus and sought to tie the jobless rate to the question of Obama’s political judgment, repeating the refrain: ‘Where are the jobs?’” (The Denver Post, 7/22/09)

October 2009: “Whatever the fate of health care legislation, persistently high unemployment has made ‘Where are the jobs?’ the most potent Republican campaign argument as next year’s midterm elections come into view.” (The New York Times, 10/4/09)

February 2010: “Republicans, meanwhile, taunted Obama with a familiar refrain: Where are the jobs the president promised in exchange for the billions of dollars already spent?” (Associated Press, 2/6/10)

May 2010: “Yet the varied focus has left Democrats open to criticism from Republicans, who have adopted ‘where are the jobs?’ as a rallying cry.” (The Hill, 5/5/10)

July 2010: “With Republicans demanding to know ‘where are the jobs?’ — the refrain adopted by the House Republican leader, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio…” (The New York Times, 7/8/10)

August 2010: “Republicans have made “where are the jobs?” their mantra…” (AFP, 8/7/10)

September 2010: “Economically, the GOP’s Pledge to America, released Thursday, is aimed at small businesses… ‘Where are the jobs?’ – a theme in GOP campaign stump speeches – is the subtext of the new governing agenda.” (The Christian Science Monitor, 9/23/10)

October 2010: “And Boehner has worked relentlessly to keep angry US voters focused on the sour US economy and unemployment, demanding to know ‘where are the jobs?’ and urging cuts in government spending to rein in galloping US debt.” (AFP, 10/14/10)

The Democrats are blaming the Republicans for holding up a bill…that DOESN’T EXIST!! They think Americans are stupid. Well…around 50% of us are I guess…

Don’t let the truth or fuzzy theories get in the way, just keep whining and compounding the lies. Robert Gibbs and his double trouble speak isn’t fooling anyone, never has, never will. You can’t vote on something that hasn’t been written! Kudos to the White House Press Corps for growing a set every so often.

Every misstep, every lie, every deceit that the White House has brought upon every American citizen will be remembered on Election Day. Keep on with those Press Meetings Gibbs… they will rock the vote! And the New Congress will rock your world!

A crystal ball viewing of Obama’s, that Savant Noir provided, was the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs Division of Sustainable Development aka the DSD.It reads step for step… the agenda that has been revealed since Obama attained office. There is no question who’s in charge of Obama’s global political agenda. Obama left the U.S. Constitution, the Spirit, the Unity, the Freedom and the People’s Willoutside on the curb when he entered theWhite House.

Sheer coincidence… nothing is left to chance with this liberal megalomaniac agenda. Another confirming source of record isFreedom Advocates that notates every action and order that Obama follows via the UN directives and the consequences to “We the People”.

GRID-Arendal is a collaborating centre of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Established in 1989 by the Government of Norway as a Norwegian Foundation, our mission is to communicate environmental information to policy-makers and facilitate environmental decision-making for change…”

He never intended to be a real President, thus being a Bogus POTUS, he cares not what he does. He’s just letting the money flow.

LTC LAKIN has been threatened by the prosecutor in his court martial with physical violence. The American Patriot Foundation URGENTLY requests you call, email and fax his commanding general tomorrow starting 9:00 am eastern time, and say “DON’T TASE LTC LAKIN. Stop Brodsky’s misconduct.”

Major General Carla Hawley-Bowland’s phone number is (202) 782-1104; fax is (2020 782-0940, and her email is carla.hawleybowland@us.army.mil

_______________________

The afternoon before the hearing, LTC Steven Brodsky told LTC Lakin’s counsel that Lakin must report hours before the hearing to his duty post at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in order for him to be “transported under escort” to make sure he showed up at the arraignment “to avoid embarrassing his unit.” Brodsky rejected all pleas from Lakin’s counsel that this was not merely highly unusual and that an enlisted man facing similar charges would not suffer such indignity, but that there was zero chance that Lakin would not attend a hearing when he had, quite literally “invited [his] own court martial.”

Brodsky told Lakin’s counsel that an Army Colonel had been detailed to be Lakin’s escort and that he, Brodsky, would not reconsider. However, Brodsky is a judge advocate, and as such his job is to prosecute LTC Lakin. He has no role -or at least should have no role-in deciding the manner in which Lakin relates to his commanders, and vice versa.

However, the following day, outside the courtroom, Brodsky went far beyond interference with Lakin’s commanders. While Lakin was waiting near the courtroom, Brodsky and COL Melanie Craig (Lakin’s “escort”) stood around the corner in the main hallway and in voices easily audible to LTC Lakin, spoke about the need to prevent Lakin after the hearing from speaking to the media, “signing autographs or kissing babies.” Brodsky then said to Craig “just taser him and throw him in the van.”

Lakin says of the incident: “LTC Brodsky meant for me to hear those words, no question. When COL Craig returned to where I was, she said to me ‘you probably heard all that, didn’t you?’ I replied it would have been hard not to. After the hearing, my lawyers asked COL Craig for permission for me to speak to the press, since both CNN and NBC had sent camera crews, but she rudely refused, and she ordered me back into her vehicle to be transported back to Walter Reed.” Lakin concluded his remarks today with: “DON’T TASE ME ‘BRO’!”

At the brief arraignment, the Court set dates for motion hearings on September 3rd and 14th at 11:00 a.m., and for the trial to be held from October 13-15, 2010 starting each day at 9:00 a.m. LTC Brodsky has stated that these hearings will be held at Ft. Meade, Maryland.

MG Hawley-Bowland commands all of Lakin’s superiors, and should have prevented them from being improperly influenced by the prosecuting attorney who is NOT in the Walter Reed chain of command. She can, and should, order that Lakin not be singled out for persecution and that his rights to speak to the media, and even to “kiss babies,” to paraphrase LTC Brodsky, should not be infringed. She should be told, frankly, “DON’T TASE HIM, ‘BRO’!”

It should be noted that the Military Judge in Lakin’s case has no authority over Lakin’s supervisors, and that therefore the Judge is NOT the one Lakin’s supporters should contact. Rather, supporters are asked to only contact MG Hawley-Bowland, because it is she who not only has the power to command Lakin’s company commander and others not to permit the prosecutor to interfere, but who SHOULD do so.

Washington, D.C., August 2, 2010. The Army has now referred charges against LTC Terrence Lakin for a General Court Martial. This action triggered the appointment of a Military Judge to preside over the trial, which will likely be scheduled before October, and held in Washington, D.C. at Ft. McNair.

On August 6, 2010 at Ft. McNair in Washington, D.C., the court will convene for the purpose of Judge Lind taking Lakin’s plea to the charges which consist of “missing movement” and of refusing to obey orders.

Today Lakin stated: “I am not guilty of these charges, and will plead ‘not guilty’ to them because of my conviction that our Commander-in-Chief may be ineligible under the United States Constitution to serve in that highest of all offices. The truth matters. The Constitution matters. If President Obama is a natural born citizen then the American people deserve to see proof, and if he is not, then I believe the orders in this case were illegal.”

If convicted, Lakin faces up to four years at hard labor in a federal penitentiary.

LTC Lakin is a doctor and is in his 18th year of service in the Army. He is Board Certified in Family Medicine and Occupational and Environmental Medicine. He has been recognized for his outstanding service as a flight surgeon for year-long tours in Honduras, Bosnia and Afghanistan. He was also awarded the Bronze Star for his service in Afghanistan and recognized in 2005 as one of the Army Medical Department’s outstanding flight surgeons.

In March of this year, he announced in a video posted on YouTube that he would refuse to obey orders until receiving proof of the President’s eligibility. So far, more than 200,000 people have viewed that video.

Army Col. Denise R. Lind will preside over the trial. Before becoming a judge, she served tours of duty both prosecuting and defending soldiers in court martial proceedings. She is a 1982 magna cum laude graduate of Siena College, and earned her law degree from Albany Law School in 1985. As Military Judge, she will decide all matters of law, including requests from the defense for discovery, and a motion the prosecution has said it will make to determine the lawfulness of the orders LTC Lakin is charged with refusing to obey. A “jury” comprised of Army officers will decide based on the facts whether Lakin is guilty or not guilty of the various felony-equivalent charges pending against him.

In standing up for his convictions and in keeping with his training that illegal orders must be disobeyed, LTC Lakin has been widely praised for upholding the rule of law and the paramount supremacy in our society of the United States Constitution.

Lakin is represented by military counsel, and by Paul Jensen, a civilian attorney from California who has been provided to him by the American Patriot Foundation, a non-profit group incorporated in 2003 to foster appreciation and respect for the U.S. Constitution, which has established a fund for Lakin’s legal defense.
